Is it allowed to have two US visas in two different (nationality) passports?
My wife was born in country A, and recently acquired the nationality of the country we live in, country B. She currently holds a valid passport for country A with a valid US visa.
I am a citizen only from country B and my US visa has just expired and I need to apply for a new one.
In order to save time, money and also possibly ease the US visa approval process, we would like to apply at the same time for my new visa and a visa for her but in passport B.
If approved, this would leave her with 2 valid visas on 2 valid passports from different countries. Is this allowed under US law? Is it convenient?

Two PassportsAs a dual citizen, you are allowed to carry passports from both countries. For example, if you are a U.S. citizen and also a citizen of New Zealand, you can travel more easily between these two countries.Can I use 2 different passports for entering and leaving a country?
Dual nationals may also be required by the foreign country to use its passport to enter and leave that country. Use of the foreign passport to travel to or from a country other than the United States is not inconsistent with U.S. law.Traveling with two passports - I almost got arrested | Jure Sanguinis Italian Dual Citizenship
